Latest FONT you bought?

Hello,

Name the last font you bought and place in here some of the uses you gave it.

I've just bought the HTF Requiem and I'm using it on the new CD layout I'm doing for this band called MOONSPELL. Check the promo label.


That's a nice looking face...you don't have a link to the home page handy, do you?

Nevermind, found it myself.

God I love Google.

i have never bought a typeface in my life, and guess it

hum...

Tetterode/Amsterdam foundry Pascal, in 30 and 60 point.
I've only made some "boring" specimens so far, and I currently have neither commercial nor artistic plans for it.

This is a small ad I did, set on Thirstype's Apex Sans, congratulating one of our clients on the 20th anniversary
of their company. The pluses refer to the "+hp" campaign, for which we did some design on the commercials.

Most recent purchase... Storm Type Foundry's "Czech Type Library".

Last face purchased: FB Rocket by Leslie Cabarga.

Wow, Tiffany, that's a great buy!

(I'm not ashamed to say that the lowercase a in Regent makes me swoon.)

Um...generally even if you don't make it a habit of pirating software and such, it's not really a good idea to advertise the fact.

Serapion II. May use it for promo for a puppet version if The Tempest.

I meant of not if.

Dalliance family and Eidetic Neo family from Emigre for a client's wedding invitations. Eidetic Neo for the type, Dalliance for the flourishes (of course I could have easily done the flourishes myself in Illustrator, but I've been looking for an excuse to buy Dalliance-- even though I doubt it will ever find its way into any of my work again.)

It's a little disturbing to hear that some simply assume that none actually pay for software or fonts. Really gets me excited at the prospect of releasing typefaces I make. *shakes head*

Oh, and Tiffany: wonderful choice with the Czech Type Library. I'm very tempted to pick that up myself!

I'd be very interested to see how Eidetic Neo turned
out for a wedding invitation! I haven't had the
opportunity to experiment on the few that I've done
(it wasn't even allowed on my own!).

in regards to Storm's type, who isn't tempted!?

last font i bought was Ultramagnetic

The last set of fonts I purchased was the entire Vasava typeface collection. Lots of geometric stencily display wonderfulness, &t. I'm still waiting for the right job to come through the door in order to baptize them properly.

My last bought & used font was the "Annonce Grotesque" from Ludlow through Myfonts. I was really looking for the Venus Extrabold Extended but it was impossible to find then (I didn
